“I believed what the doctors were telling me. I was given testosterone after a 40 minute intake and was told this would fix me. After months of troubling symptoms and sleepless nights, I returned to my biological sex and ceased hormone treatment. Testosterone induces serious permanent changes  to the human body. I was not informed of this, and my life was never the same. As women we face many obstacles, but the medical community is buying off feminine insecurity and promising the world you can change yourself- when in fact we should be loving ourselves for who we are.”
